Publisher's summary

Has your life been conscripted by an economic religion?

Learn how to free yourself and your life through the power of unscripted entrepreneurship.

Grab your front-row seat in the story of a lifetime. Witness how one family escapes the rat race - the world's economic religion - and how you can too.

By all appearances, Jeff and Samantha Trotman are living the American dream. But behind the white picket fence, they endure an American nightmare. With little time for each other, a pile of debt, and Ferrari taste on a Ford budget, the ruse of affluence is killing them. Two respectable jobs and a lovely suburban house paint a pretty picture, but behind the ink is a broken marriage rife with meaningless work and dead dreams. And now, with an unplanned pregnancy, they’re facing a mid-life crisis 20 years early.

With little time and looming bankruptcy, the Trotmans are forced to face the red-pill truth they long denied: They were living, but they weren’t alive. Determined to resurrect their life and their marriage, the Trotmans plot a rat-race escape - only to find themselves more thickly in it. As tensions rise and hope fades, follow along step-by-step as the Trotmans pivot to a new strategy and a new career: starting a business as entrepreneurs. While they navigate their journey, you’ll learn 120 wealth-building strategies and principles that your mainstream financial guru won’t dare reveal - actionable concepts that will help you profit your way into the unscripted one percent, an emerging economic class of entrepreneurs who enjoy a lifetime of freedom emancipated from miserly living and Wall Street's "save, pray, and wait" paradigm.

Discover how one family escapes the wage-slaving grind and wins a lifetime of financial freedom, leaving behind the tyranny of meaningless jobs and mediocre living - and how you can do the same. Not in 50 years, but five or 10.

Twenty Stars!!!!!!

It’s the Raw writing style that separates MJ from other…Truth is present always…I would recommend this to everyone beginner or Expert…you’ll get a lot from it PLUS storytelling is on point…

The Great Eacape

Everybody comes to a point where Jeff and Samatha were in life. A touching, yet practical to follow step bu step guid to a more fulfilling and impactful life.

Exceptional

Just when I thought MJ’s writing couldn’t get any better from unscripted 1, this book showsup. Well done MJ, and a shocking brilliant story telling skill you have 👍🏼.

An MBA wrapped in a 16 hour book

Admittedly it is a long listen, however it is chalked full of extremely valuable information. The author provides a brutality honest & practical map towards financial freedom. As a"saver" rat, I identified with the frustration of saving forever hoping to gain wealth Buffett style fearing that I wouldn't see a break until I reach Buffett's age. I would recommend this book.

Be in the entrepreneur mindset prior to reading

Great opinions, & action steps to take to begin a financial path to success.
May be overwhelming to many who have not had a side hustle or are in an entrepreneurial mind set

Wow… this book… will change my life

MJ’s book, Unscripted made me feel as if I had just been pulled out of the Matrix. This book, has completely cemented my faith in this process. Worth every minute of the read! But now I realize even reading can be action faking, time to get back to working on the business!

Everybody should read this book!

Life changing, great story and not only cut the BS for a real possible for financial independence I think this book makes you a better human being in many ways. Thanks MJ 😊

Another Banger!

Here is an email I sent the author after reading the book twice:

“Hey MJ,

When I read your book The Millionaire Fastlane, I emailed you because you blew my mind. Now, I've read your newest book twice and my mind is blown again. Here's why:

When I started my entrepreneurial journey in June 2020, I became a total bookworm for business. With that said, it wasn't until I read your newest book that I was able to pick out and identify problems in this world and design a business surrounding it with relative ease. The fictional story within a business book was an absolute genius move and works perfectly with the human psyche.

I find myself with no shortage of business ideas, improvements, upsell products, advertising angles (value skews ;) ) and most of all CONFIDENCE because of your work.

The benefits were not only in business, but also in my personal life. You helped me find more purpose in my life, and for that I am forever grateful.

I'm still a type 1 unscriptee, but the path has never been clearer. THANK YOU MJ.

P.S.: If I ever run into you, I owe you a covid-approved fist bump and a beer. “

So obviously I loved the book. And the coolest thing? He actually wrote me back. Mad respect.

Wow. That’s all I can say

One of the greatest, if not the greatest work of literature I’ve read. Actionable, realistic and real life relevant (up to the year 2021). Most books are outdated, general and fluff to fill the pages. Unscripted is not that. The first Unscripted I read 2-3 years ago when working in a Manhattan office in finance. I ultimately left, started an E-Commerce business and generated over $2,000,000 in the first year. This isn’t to brag (I’m an anonymous audible customer leaving a review with nothing to gain) but to show that Unscripted was part of the main motivation to cut ties with my 9-6 Monday through Friday job and pursue meaningful, scalable work. Reading part 2 after coming this far is a breath of fresh air and an entirely new perspective. What MJ preaches and discusses in his books are not only 99% on point, but 100% on point. Read it with the certainty that his ideologies and applications are true, because they are. I highly appreciate his wit, humor and attention to detail. MJ, if you ever end up reading this review, thank you. You aren’t some guru, just a guy who thinks outside the box. Becoming unscripted isn’t as hard as everyone thinks. Take my word for it.

Best Business Book for Starting Out

If you are looking to grow a company and escape the rat race this book is for you.
